Love and respect him but this come back is not a good idea. Leave it to the younger and fast and enjoy the retirement perks!

“I wish I could have done it with no one watching but that’s unfortunately not the case. I am very comfortable with where I’m at.”

Umm... you could have if you'd stayed RETIRED.

He's comeback is geared to the Olympics and nothing more. These meets are just to shake the cobwebs off. He knows what he needs to do to qualify for London. I'm sure he will up his training even more so now and surprise more than a few people in the coming months. I'm tipping him to make the final in London but fall short of the medal podium.

He's past it all his records and medals were won while wearing those super slippery swim suits they used to allow i believe, now they have been outlawed he has no chance.
